We don't know if the next rupture will look like 1906 earthquake, but we know that many of the same areas hit hard in 1906, like San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and the Santa Cruz mountains will be hit hard again in the next large earthquake on the San Andreas Fault .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the ups and downs have really made us appreciate what we have now all the more.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain we call old notions fudge And bend our conscience to our dealing.  The Ten Commandments will not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59131]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain we call old notions fudge And bend our conscience to our dealing.  The Ten Commandments will not budge   And stealing will continue stealing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't leave if I thought that the sky was falling, ...
